Reynold,

I had an unusual incident.

I was hit in the head by an anchor. I did not put it back in the boat when done with it...I set it on a platform outside the boat and figured I would idle slowly to the next destination. My grandson asked if we could go fast, I forgot about the anchor and when I accelerated it fell off the platform and was apparently skipping on top of the water. It weighs 20 pounds and was 60' behind a boat doing 26 mph. I made a turn to the right and my daughter saw it as it flew into the boat and hit me on the left side and right front areas.

Do the math cuz I can't but that heavy anchor was moving pretty dang fast to catch up to me.

It busted the skull pretty good but there was no brain bleeding, bruising or drainage, no tearing of that lining between the brain and skull and surprisingly little swelling or bruising to my head.

The fortunate thing is I was the one hit and not my grandkids, daughters or wife.

Bud
